Abstract

When explosive gases are introduced into a combustion chamber care must be taken that no pre-ignition occurs. To this end, the gas is spatially subdivided into discrete volume elements, for example by means of a bundle of tubes having an internal diameter which does not exceed twice the quenching distance of the explosive gases. Such a division ensures that the wall distances of the gas portions of one volume element are greater than their quenching distances.
